Everyday, Miracles

I was talking with a an old friend the other day, who called me to let me know that he has been clean for about two weeks and going to Twelve Step meetings, experiencing some success. After talking with him a bit, I thought, "wow, there goes a miracle" in a kind of surface manner to myself. As I was moving through my day, the more and more I thought about it, the thought went past the surface and I more fully realized the impact of "wow, there goes a miracle." With his addiction there are the cravings, withdrawal, environmental stressors. On top of this, there is the fact that he recognized that he has a serious problem and needs to reach out for help to climb out of the deep hole that addiction creates. He talked about not just getting physically clean of the drugs but his need to make mental and spiritual change as well. That was really different for him as opposed to his past efforts.

There are everyday miracles that appear right in front of our face. We can often times miss them, because of the direction that our mind is leaning. It's an individual responsibility that we position our mind so that it can see past the immediate and into the deeper aspects of our life. Are we prepared for that challenge? Sometime yes. Sometimes no. I feel the important point is to make the effort. The more and more we do this, the more easily we will be able to see the miracles that are in front of our eyes.

May Your Life Go Well,
